To enter these commands, hold down the Ctrl key and the

Alt key and press the +, -, or * key located cm the numeric keypad. The speed setting remains in effect until you press the RESET button or turn off the computer, or until you change it again using the Setup program, another keyboard command, or the ESPEED program, described below.

Using the ESPEED Program

The ESPEED program allows you to change the processor speed to high or low, or set the speed to change automatically. This method is convenient if your application program does not recognize the Ctrl keyboard commands or if you want to include the program command in a batch file.

The ESPEED program is provided with your system on the Reference diskette. If you do not have a hard disk, insert your Reference diskette in drive A and log onto drive A before you enter the command to start the program.

If you have a hard disk drive, copy the file ESPEED.EXE from your Reference diskette onto your hard disk-if you have not already done so-and run the program from there. (See Chapter 3 for more information.)

To run the ESPEED program, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt: and press Enter:

ESPEED

You see the following message:
